    <h1>Cookies usage</h1>
    
  <h2>This site uses cookies</h2>
  <p>By continuing to browse the site you are agreeing
    to our use of cookies. Find out more below.</p>

  <p>Our website does not use any <em>persistent</em> cookies
    - i.e. cookies that remain on your computer after you have concluded your
    visit to our website. These 'session' cookies are not used to store any
    personal information, and are discarded at the end of your visit.</p>

    <h2>What are cookies? </h2>
    <p>When a website is visited, that site may write a cookie (a small
      computer file) to the computer that is visiting the site. Depending on
      the individual website, the cookie may store an array of information
      about the actions performed during the site visit.</p>

  <h2>What if I want to turn cookies off?</h2>
  <p>You can stop your browser accepting cookies, or stop it accepting cookies
    from a particular website. Settings will typically be found in the
    <em>options</em> or <em>preferences</em> menu of your browser. In order
    to understand these settings, 
    use the <em>Help</em> option in your browser for more details.</p>

  <h2>Anonymous statistical cookies</h2>
    <p>Every time a user visits our website, web analytics software provided by
      <em>phpMyVisites</em> generates an anonymous cookie. These
      cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before.
      Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and if you don't, we
      generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual
      unique users we have, and how often they visit the site, but these
      cookies cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used
      for statistical purposes only.</p>

  <h2>Third party cookies</h2>
    <p>We use advertisements. These partners may use cookies to analyse customer
      journeys. They do not gather personal information via cookies. </p>

  <h2>Privacy of personal information</h2>
    <p>We use the information from <em>phpMyVisites</em> to analyse
      general usage
      of the this website. Nothing is done to collect personal or identifiable
      information, and the data is only analysed by us internally.
      We do not pass information to third parties.</p>

  <h2>What's an IP Address?</h2>
    <p>An IP address acts as a locator for one computer to <em>talk</em>
      to another.
      Put simply, a customer using a computer to connect to a website requires
      IP addresses to maintain contact for the duration of the visit. An IP
      address is not intended to act as an identifier that always uniquely
      identifies a particular device.</p>
